Our dining room table is now a fully finished project! Last Xmas, J bought me a pine dining room table as a surprise gift (with thanks to some of our friends' and family's help).
The man who built the table included 2 benches with it, but I wanted 4 chairs to go with the table.
I saw various chairs
that I loved, but they were either too expensive or we could only find
2. At thrift stores, it was rare to find 4 chairs together and typically
they would only come with a table.
While at a flea market this weekend, I found these amazing old oak chairs (all 4 were in perfect condition) and thankfully they didn't belong to a table set. I got an amazing deal for all 4 chairs ($80 TOTAL) and I couldn't be happier!
My favorite part about the chairs is that they are imperfectly perfect. Their spindles aren't all perfectly centered and the wood grain shows wear and tear. We also didn't have to stain them and the color matches our table's stain. All we had to do was wipe them down with some Murphy's Oil!
We still have the extra bench for when we need more space or seating, but I love the country vintage feel the chairs add to our table.
Now it's just time for more meals with friends!
It sure is nice to not have to scour craigslist anymore!
